EVENTS
Flight, promise Olympic-level action as our competitors throw flying discs at heights and distances that most spectators can’t imagine until they see it done. Of course, we save the best for last. This six-day event hits its pinnacle with the Championship Weekend held a Pratt Park, showcasing the final rounds of competition and demonstrations by Frisbee-catching dogs, always a major attraction. Another crowd favorite is the Freestyle event. You’ll see some of the top trick artists in the sport playing judged routines to music. The “festival” portion of Championship Weekend includes free disc-skills clinics for all attendees who are interested; and some lucky spectators will get the chance to win prizes with our Disc Golf Hole-in-One Contest. www.FlyingDisc2014.com.
